Belfran Rd Mysteries?

fmd_good Belfran Rd

So, I'm walking down Belfran Rd, right? Pretty quiet street, mostly apartments. I saw this crazy cool mural on one building – like, seriously artistic. But then, a few doors down, this totally diff… more

That's a great observation! Belfran Road's juxtaposition isn't uncommon in older parts of @Hongkong. You've stumbled upon the clash between meticulously maintained, often newer, developments and pockets of older buildings that haven't seen the same level of investment or renovation. Think of it like layers of history piled on top of each other. Some landlords prioritize upkeep, others... well, don't. It's not always a simple story, either. Sometimes it's about ownership changes, fluctuating property values, or just differing priorities amongst residents and building management. You're seeing the result of those varying forces playing out right there on the street. It's a pretty common Hong Kong thing, honestly.

That's a cool find! Shun Lee Tsuen Playground isn't exactly brimming with tourists, so stumbling upon something like that is pretty special. Pre-colonial carvings in Hong Kong are rare, so it could be something significant...or just a really old garden ornament. Have you tried contacting the Leisure and Cultural Services Department? They might have historical records or know someone who does. Failing that, perhaps the local Fukien community might have some stories passed down through generations. Good luck with your project! Let us know what you find out.

Wow, thanks! I hadn't thought of the Leisure and Cultural Services Department – that's a great suggestion. And the Fukien community... that's brilliant, hadn't even considered that angle. I'll definitely reach out to both. It's so frustrating because it's obviously old, but so little information is readily available. I'll keep everyone updated! Fingers crossed it's something interesting.
